As pointed out below, she still lives in London after all this verbiage. https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=byameliahill https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=byameliahill Edit - Censored [flagged] because we are apparently not allowed to criticise. Pathetic.

She never claimed to have moved to Germany. Or to plan it. She wants the option open, especially for her children.

  Reading it back you are indeed correct. I found the article misleading.

    Ha, cute, a snippy comment from a throwaway who admits it when s/he gets it wrong. Could it be that your presumptions about the author ("attention-seeking") is what misled you?

      >"attention seeking" Oh I stand by that comment. It is my opinion, did it offend you? I'm curious why you even felt the need to comment. Not every Briton has the power to do what she did. So the article is essentially just about her. She told all her friends what she was doing beforehand. Now what type of behaviour would you describe this as?

  Though she writes: "I find myself imaging what it would be like if my husband and I retire to Germany."

    Well I don't know here age but since she had a two year old child in 2017 according to the article, she's probably isn't retired yet. And she's apparently still writing for the Guardian, so definitely not retired.

She didn’t move to Germany, but her kids have EU passports now and for as long as that’s a thing. Mine don’t and I do sometimes feel sad about that.

Intro paragraph: > Deeply unhappy at the EU referendum result last June, Amelia Hill applied for dual nationality for her and her children – returning to the German roots that her grandparents fled from during the 1930s Last paragraph: > We are no longer prisoners of a country whose politicians do not and will not, likely for a generation or more, reflect me in any shape or form. We have options. I guess having options is the same as returning to your roots.
